As he was speaking, a guard came from the outer courtyard and walked quickly to the inner chamber of Master Jiu. He knelt on one knee with his fists clasped in front of Fu Tong'er and said, "Miss Fu, the master has sent General Yuli Huqi to pick you up. He is now outside the palace."
"knew."
Qiao'er said, "Come here, bring Miss Fu's clothes here."
A maid standing by replied, "Yes, Sister Qiao'er," and left immediately.
Fu Tong'er was puzzled: "Why are you changing clothes again? This outfit is not good?"
Qiao'er said, "Master Jiu had a gold-embellished riding suit made for the young lady, and he also gave her a set of jewelry. Before he left, Master Jiu told her to change into it in a moment."
"He... Master Jiu has so much money~?"
Qiao'er said, "Master Jiu is very kind to you. Miss, you can rest assured to stay with him. With his status and position, who would dare to bully you? Nowadays, Qi, Zhao, Wei and other countries are often at war. Master Jiu is not only financially strong, but also able to protect you. Miss, you should weigh the pros and cons and stop thinking about irrelevant people."
"Jiu Ye is a God of War, but he's also a normal man. You're with him, but you're thinking about someone you've never even met. Jiu Ye must be bothered by this. Furthermore, young lady, you've already had physical contact with Jiu Ye. I wonder if you've heard of his deeds. If you ever really anger him, the consequences will be severe."
…
Soon, Fu Tong'er was dressed up by her maid, put on the clothes given by the Ninth Master, put on a new pearl hairpin, and went to the gate of the palace.
General Youli saw the mansion door open, revealing a graceful young woman dressed in a pale pink jacket and skirt embellished with gold, draped in a valiant red fox fur coat. She was supported by a maid. From a distance, she looked both noble and aloof, her movements imbued with a charm unlike any other. He knew it was the young girl rescued by the Ninth Master that night, Fu Tong'er. Having been absent for almost a month, she had already developed a noble air within the Ninth Master's mansion.
Seeing this, General Youli immediately came over, clasped his fists and bowed, and said very respectfully: "Miss Fu! The Ninth Master asked his subordinates to pick you up." Beside them was a carriage made strictly according to the regulations of the Regent of Dayan.
There were seven or eight soldiers holding weapons standing behind the carriage.
General Youli said, "Master Jiu has ordered that only Miss Fu be allowed to go."
Qiao'er said, "I'll help my young lady onto the carriage." Yu Lirang made way. Qiao'er helped Fu Tong'er onto the footstool and said, "Miss, Qiao'er can't accompany you all the way. I have something to say to the general on the way."
"Okay~"
…
General You Li rode in front, and the carriage ordered by the Regent followed behind him, followed by two rows of Lu Zhenzhi's soldiers.
The streets of the Imperial City were bustling with people, and the sounds of hawkers were endless.
Fu Tong'er once again sat in the familiar carriage. It was also in this carriage that she met Jiu Ye.
At this moment, a voice was heard outside the car window: "Junior greets Uncle Nine! Is Uncle Nine going to the camp?"
Fu Tong'er lifted the curtain and looked up, revealing the blood-jade hairpin with beads on her head to King Hui's eyes.
"Tong—why is it you?" His Royal Highness looked at Fu Tong'er, lightly made up, her dark hair combed up in a high, side-knot bun, a blood-jeweled hairpin tucked in. In the warm winter sun, she looked noble and charming.
Fu Tong'er looked King Hui up and down, her eyes full of coldness.
"Did the Ninth Prince send you clothes and jewelry again?" King Hui asked this question, which anyone with a discerning eye could see, and smiled helplessly.
Fu Tong'er lowered the curtain and did not say a word to King Hui from beginning to end.
The carriage continued to move forward with General Youli, followed by two rows of soldiers.
In the distance, King Hui felt so distressed that he wanted to burst into tears. He hadn't slept well since the divorce, and Fu Tong'er often appeared in his dreams. The once beleaguered girl was now being escorted by the Ninth Prince in a carriage commissioned by his noble Regent. Furthermore, he had sent a general to escort her in front, and two lines of soldiers to guard the rear...
The Ninth Prince is serious about her.
…
Fu Tong'er sat in the carriage, feeling a bit strange today. Why hadn't the Ninth Master sent Deputy General Xiao to pick her up? In the past, no matter what the matter was, the Ninth Master would always have Deputy General Xiao run errands. Now, he sent someone else. Could something have happened in the barracks?
Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage had already reached the outside of the military camp. General You Li said to a soldier, "Go get a footstool. The woman inside is Master Jiu's woman."
"Yes! By the General!"
Soon, Fu Tong'er came down from the carriage on a footstool. She saw a field of white snow, and the grassland looked particularly bright and solemn.
General Youli said from his horse, "Miss Fu, Master Jiu is waiting for you in the commander's tent."
Fu Tong'er bowed slightly: "Thank you, General."
Then, they turned and entered the military camp. After winding around several tents, they arrived outside the commander's tent. Two soldiers saw Fu Tong'er and clasped their fists and said, "Miss Fu!"
As he spoke, he lifted the tent curtain. Fu Tong'er saw Jiu Ye in the commander's seat, his tall and muscular figure pressing against the roof of the tent. Beside him stood Lieutenant General Xiao and another man in his thirties.
There was a three-dimensional map on the table with a few small red flags stuck on it.
"Tong'er is here, come over here." Lu Zhenzhi glanced up and stretched out his arm, his eyes still on the map. A man in his thirties beside him said, "Master Jiu, if we want to defeat Qi, we must first attack Zhao. The king of Zhao is weak, so there's no need to fight him. We can just borrow his way through."
